In just a handful of bullpens, Isaac Sullivan has made significant strides with his lower half.
Here’s how he went from being stuck over the rubber to creating more force and momentum down the mound — backed by NewtForce data. 🧵@alphabsb @TBros11 @DBachman22 @isaacsullivan26

[Mitchell Bault @Mitchell_Bault]

Too many midweek "touch & feel" pens lack purpose.
The reality of the situation is that you have a small window to execute what matters.

it'll look different from outing/outing but either way- Don't waste it.

Here are different ways to get more out of your next side session🧵

[Mitchell Bault @Mitchell_Bault]

As summer travel ball is winding down, I get asked by parents whether their pitcher should do a full shut down or deload. @alphabsb @DBachman22

There are many factors to consider so here is a thread to talk through this🧵

[Beau Chaney @BeauChaney5]

First bullpen back since Tommy John. I feel amazing thank you Jesus. Thank you to my boys at @alphabsb!!

[Alpha Baseball @alphabsb]

We are not affiliated in any way with a travel organization.

For years we have intentionally not added travel teams to remain a neutral resource that orgs feel comfortable sending their players to, without fear of us trying to take them for our own teams.

If you don’t see the rounded “a” ..it’s not us.

[Kyle Kesel @kesel_29]

I’m very excited to continue my academic and baseball career at Miami University. Thank you to everyone who has helped me and believed in me. Go RedHawks!

Big time @PB_Uncommitted power arm living in the high 80s w/ the lively heater.

3 pitch mix was well seasoned, creating uncomfortable hitters up & down the lineup.

+CH that compliments the elite arsenal 👍🏼

Graduate Transfer from Ohio State with one year of eligibility remaining. Medically redshirted this year after having UCL Repair with Internal Brace. Currently 14 weeks Post-OP. T99 Pre-Surgery.

[Nolan Rappé @nolan_rappe15]

🩻 Rib cage provides the foundation for the scap/shoulder complex.

HOW we create that motion matters. 360 degrees of expansion/compression is needed to sequence rotation efficiently. Ability to create/change shape is crucial for health/performance.⚾️

[Jaylen Jones @JaylenJones99]

After medically redshirting this season, I have entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining. Currently 12 weeks post-op from UCL Repair surgery. Forever thankful for Ohio State University and the last three years.

5 hours of sleep, 2 energy drinks and 1/2 a meal before your bullpen is not “grinding”. It’s self-sabotage.

[Alpha Baseball @alphabsb]

It’s easy to get lost w/ pitch profiles in this ‘pitch design’ era. Skenes a has 4 seam metrics that if brushed over- could be called “dead”

Skenes gets away with this by
1. Averaging 98.2 mph
2. Completely different than sinker
3. 7 pitch arsenal

Difference + usage > Metrics

[Mitchell Bault @Mitchell_Bault]

🧵 Pitch manipulation > pitch addition

On March 7, in a spring training game vs. the Angels, Seth Lugo threw 2.2 innings and displayed 9 different pitch profiles.

Over 10 MLB seasons, he’s mastered one thing above all:

➡️ Ball manipulation. @alphabsb
